John Leonard. 43 years old. Currently living in Maynard, Mass. (next to Concord). Working as a circulation assistant at the Ashland (Mass.) Public Library. Trying to decide which school to go to for my Master’s in Library Science degree. Any suggestions are welcome. Very funny.
Dewey Eyes and 016 are my ways of becoming more familiar with the Dewey Decimal System. I take the news of the day or whatever else looks interesting to me, figure out which Dewey code to slap on it, and call it a post. How lame is that? I’m hardly the first person to think of this, but I’d like to try to make the whole system seem a little bit more approachable to the average library patron. I update the site whenever I feel like it; ambition is not a huge factor in my life.
I also write. I have an embryonic home page for my writing samples. My post-New Year’s resolution is to actually make it presentable. I didn’t say what year that would happen, though.
I have a page on LinkedIn as well. I have no idea why, except that I kept getting these emails from LinkedIn telling me to join LinkedIn. Again, I have no idea why, because if the v.c. cowboys who run that hotass site knew who I was, they’d probably have security escort me out of the building. Maybe I’m just waiting to see whether they’ll actually get wise to my con job. Yeah, that’s it.

P.S.
I play bass, drums and guitar. I also teach beginning guitar players.
I play with other folks, too. I’d like to get a cover band together and ganhar muito dinheiro (make beaucoups bucks). I’m interested in playing with anybody of any age, sex, race, religion, creed, income level, IQ level or what have you who loves good music. My other Web page lists most of the bands I’ve been in.
Came of age in the late 1970s and early 1980s, so stuff from that time has stayed with me, whether it’s punk, new wave, power pop or whatever. Getting more into stuff from the 1970s proper these days: Maria Muldaur, Warren Zevon. Even listened to a whole Grateful Dead album, Go to Heaven, for the first time yesterday.
What else? Let’s see — Hot Tuna, Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, Allmans, Don Nix.
Movies
Blue Car (which my friend made), Spring Forward, Scary Movie 3.
Television
Law and Order.
